Mangos is compatible with all non-current releases of World of Warcraft™.
Level of completeness will vary between versions.

Mangos is free and open-source, meaning it is open for everyone to use, regardless of level of coding experience (if any).
Our project hosting and licenses is funded by donations from members of the public.

Mangos includes tools to develop & build game content, including your own custom content (you wont find support for custom content here).

Discord Server

In mid-2017 we launched a public discord server for our users to engage with each other in real-time. Discord is both text and voice. It is webbased but also has a desktop version with apps for Windows, Mac, Android, iOS and Linux.

The Mangos community uses Discord for a variety of different things, this can include discussions on development, how to tackle bugs or simply asking for guidance on setting up Mangos.
